This advisory addresses a vulnerability (CVE-2021-28510) in certain Arista EOS systems running Precision Time Protocol (PTP). A malformed PTP packet can cause the PTP agent to repeatedly restart, making the PTP service unavailable. This can lead to degraded time synchronization for downstream devices.
